Mixing inquiry

hi all. questions regarding mixing. Is it better/more efficient to subgroup the drums/cymbals to an aux track and use a plugin comp/eq/reverb on the aux channel only or should I use individual plugs on each track?
my thoughts are that it might work on the drums but not necessarily on the cymbals.
Im about to cross this bridge and am lookin for feedback.

Very High pitched whine when I start Nuendo OR SAMPLITUDE!

When I start Nuendo 2.2 or the new Samplitude 8.0 demo I get a very subtle high pitched whine or audio constant ring, maybe up at at about 2k or so, not sure. But I do not get it opening the SAW studio demo. I am trying to find out which program to get. I'm not sure if it is getting on the recording track, or it's just an output thing. Is SAW better than the other 2 programs.

Hard decision on OH's. .

Ok guys...I want some overhead mics that will also sound nice on acoustic guitar as well. I want a microphone that I can buy and always have a use for other than an expensive paperweight. Since my budget isn't astronomical I've been looking at the RODE NT-5's and the Studio Projects C4's. I've been reading a lot of previous posts that only left me more confused.

desperate

i've been trying to get my equipment through my relatives in different countries but i find prices of the stuff i need are less in America so i would try to get the equipment from America but the problem is my relatives have failed in purchasing just because they get confused by seeing models that have similarities because they don't have any know how of the stuff i need.
